Ep. 190 - No Scary Menopause Skin Here with Debbi Barber

Forget everything you thought you knew about aging skin! In this spooky Halloween episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by Debbi Barber, the inspiring founder of Vitali Skincare, to banish the fear of "scary menopause skin" for good. Debbi shares her incredible personal journey from a 37-year marketing career to becoming a skincare innovator after a life-changing discovery. She opens up about her own experience with crepey skin and fine lines, which led her to the powerful, healing properties of the "blue peptide," GHK-Cu, under the guidance of her mentor, peptide expert Dr. Suzanne Ferree.

This is a masterclass in clean, effective skincare for the second half of life. Debbi and Fiona dive deep into why our skin changes so dramatically during menopause, the critical importance of protecting your skin barrier, and the common mistakes we make with exfoliation. They pull back the curtain on the truth about hidden ingredients like "fragrance" and discuss why Debbi is so passionate about creating products free from harmful additives. Discover how Vitali’s copper peptide formulas not only help with collagen loss and fine lines but are also remarkable for healing scars, smoothing skin on the body, and even supporting hair and brow growth. Debbi’s passion is contagious as she reveals what’s next for Vitali and leaves you with one powerful piece of advice she’d give her younger self. Get ready to transform your skin health with this engaging, informative, and empowering conversation.
